While another netizen said that Captain must join the Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and wished him all the best. His tweet read, “Good Decision! A “Horse” can’t work under the leadership of a “Mule”. When “Mule” had introduced another “Chameleon” to oversee the horse. Now quit the “CONgress” Make sure they lose Punjab. Then post-election take your call to join the BJP and flourish. All the best Caption!”
